The Scorpio full Moon falls on Friday, April 22. This is a very interesting, and for many, very rewarding lunation. The Sabian Symbols that go with the planetary energies are really quite extraordinarily wonderful - 'Neighbors Coming Together', 'Steps Up To A Lawn Blooming With Clover', 'Jewelry Shops Filled With The Most Valuable Gems', 'The Boxer Entering The Ring', 'The Gate To The Garden Of All Fulfilled Desire', 'The Royal Coat Of Arms Enriched With Precious Stones' - and more - the Symbols contain a host of encouraging and desirable images. 

For sure, though, there are stresses in amongst it all, especially as we have some very strong
retrogrades happening - Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto, and soon, on the 28th April, Mercury. This can be a somewhat frustrating time, especially with Mars retrograding until the beginning of July. Plans we may have been wanting to push forward with may need to have some revisions, second guesses, wrinkles ironed out - all those kinds of things, and more. 

 

With all those retrogrades, we still have this push to forge forward, particularly with Venus on Aries 21: The Boxer Entering The Ring conjuncting (together with) Uranus on Aries 22: The Gate Opens To The Garden Of All Fulfilled Desires. What a combination. As I have said before, I see this two degrees as a type of binary: One steps up to the plate and then steps through the gate.

All Aboard For The Magic Carpet Ride: April's Aries New Moon

I’ll need a magic carpet to get out of this one. Donald Davis

If you surrendered to the air, you could ride it. Toni Morrison

Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it goes on flying anyway. Mary Kay Ash

If the winds of fortune are temporarily blowing against you, remember that you can harness them and make them carry you, through the use of your imagination. Napolean Hill

Man’s desires are limited by his perceptions; none can desire what he has not perceived. William Blake

The power of thought—the magic of the mind! Lord Byron  

The Aries new Moon in March is a particularly interesting one as it is in a very close conjunct with Uranus. Occurring on April 7, it can bring about breakthroughs in decisions, understanding, events, etc, and we may find some rather surprising events along the way. Right before the exact new Moon, there is a trine from Saturn to the new Moon, and this could have us really assessing things in the clear light of day and making moves based on what is truly possible, desirable, available, new, useful, innovative, etc. etc. There is quite a nice balance in that, as, in most cases, we'll be able to amass the reality and facts of the matter in order to sort out where to from here.

Then, Uranus is likely to have us making moves that might have been building for some time, but needed the added impetus to get them going. We may have been waiting for an appropriate time, not sure the energy is right, or, feeling like our ducks have not been in a row in the right manner... with Uranus so closely aligned with this new Moon, we may have decisions taken out of our hands. We may have events and circumstances handed to us in a way we might not have imagined or foretold. Uranus often brings the unexpected and the downright surprising. Insights, realizations and events can have an electrical quality that can cut through extraneous detail to the core of the matter. 

The big whammy, though, of this new Moon is the square from Pluto. This could bring things up to the surface that have been simmering for some time down below. Major and radical transformations can take place and we would do well to watch and observe and measure and not react too quickly (if that is at all possible). Pluto can bring up things from a subterranean level and we would do well to listen to that deeper reality, that deeper impulse.
